EXCLUSIVE PREVIEW: Catwoman #7

Selena lives her life a quarter mile at a time. Nothing else matters: not the leather chaffing, not her dead best friend, not the Batman and his sidekicks and all their drama. For those ten seconds or less, she’s free.

CATWOMAN #7
Written by Judd Winick
Pencilled by Adriana Melo
Inked by Mariah Benes
Lettered by DC Lettering
Cover by Guillermo March

In the wake of her run-in with Batman and the loss of someone very dear to her, Catwoman turns over a new leaf.

With a new attitude, a new partner and a new game plan, she embarks on a new journey: She’s stealing hot cars. The competition isn’t too happy about it, and the Gotham PD are that much closer to nailing her.

There’s only one way out: Drive really, really fast.

DC Comics presents an exclusive preview of Catwoman #7 with story by Judd Winick and art by Adriana Melo:

This book has a blast, but a large part of the reason why has been the fantastic art of Guillem March. Looking at this preview, I can already see this book is going to hurt without him. It’s just not as vibrant and frenetic. I hope he comes back soon.

I’ve been enjoying the series as well–not as refined as the Brubaker run, but has it’s own insane charm to it. Melo does a decent job fitting her art style with things while still making it feel a bit her own. I’m also looking forward to this issue in general–I really can’t think of any other story where Selina’s done this and it is kind-of in her wheelpark–and like the iFanboy team’s mentioned a few times, it’s rare and fun to see car chases in comics.

Also, can I just say thanks so much for having the little window slideshow come up with your previews now? I don’t know if this is the first time you guys started doing it or if I just now noticed it, but the past times where I had to click through two different pages to get the full page was a bit of a pain, and I like that you guys went around that. 🙂
